1 Research Strategy of the Forest Research Institute of Baden-Württemberg Konstantin von Teuffel Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg, Freiburg, Germany University of Freiburg 4 May 2016
2 Structure Forest Research Landscape Forest Research Institute of Baden- Württemberg (FVA) Frame conditions Emerging issues Setting the agenda Current challenges
3 European Research Landscape Päivinen 2007 Map of Forest Research Resources 2007 (FRI Survey in 2008, 43 organisations in 31 countries)
4 Forest Research Funding in Europe Total app. 290 M in 2007 (N=43 FRIs in 31 countries) Päivinen /05/2016
5 German Research Landscape 10 Forest Research Institutes 4 Faculties for Forest Science vti Institute Hamburg University LFE Eberswalde Lehr- und Versuchsforstamt Arnsberg FAWF Trippstadt NW-FVA Göttingen Göttingen University Landesanstalt Thüringen Gotha Dresden University Sachsenforst Graupa FVA Freiburg Freiburg University LWF Freising Munich University
6 Forest Research Institutes Core activities: State of the art knowledge for policy advice Quick reaction to emerging topics Unbiased information Long term monitoring data Solutions for relevant and applied problems
7 FVA - Mandate The Research Institute of Baden-Württemberg is responsible for forest research and advising private and community forest owners Baden-Württemberg Forest Act 76 (LWaldG):... The role of the Forest Research Institute is to provide the forest and timber industry with rational options for fulfilling the multiple forest functions and to investigate the ecological relationships between the forest and the environment.
8 FVA Core Competences Long term scientific monitoring - Research plots and data - socio-economic surveys Applied research - practical results in mid term perspective Knowledge transfer - Policy advice - Foresters/ forest owners
9 FVA Organisation
10 FVA Human Resources Employees in total 245 (as of ) Full-time 52 % Scientific 47 %

14 Research Funding Programmes International EU Framework Programmes, ERA-Nets, COST, Interreg National Forest Climate Fund, Renewable Resources (FNR). Regional Klimopass
15 FVA - Co-operation University of Freiburg Freiburger Modell European Forest Institute Central European Regional Office waldwissen.net Information for Forest Management nfz.forestnet Regional Forest Research Network
16 Frame conditions Globalisation & internationalisation increasingly cross cutting issues worldwide trade conditions innovation in science invasive pests and diseases Marginalisation of forestry in Europe cuts in personnel and finances
17 Frame conditions Nature protection and demand for wood Biodiversity and protection of natural resources as prevailing topics in the 80s and 90s Increasing demand for wood as natural resource
18 Frame conditions More competition inside and outside sector more problem-oriented, integrated programs, less single research projects => more integration => loss of disciplinary focus more cross sector & cross disciplinary programs challenge: how to find excellent partners? more participatory research!
19 Frame conditions Fragmentation of the sector (in Germany) > 200 associations/interest groups controversial interests
20 Emerging issues Sources of information IUFRO Directors Forum IUFRO Division 9 proposals European Forest Institute (EFI) strategy Forest Technology Platform (FTP) - Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda - German Research Agenda National Forest Research Institutions
21 Emerging issues In general: 80s and 90s decades of natural sciences, biodiversity, ecosystem research recent development more demand for economics, forest utilisation, forest management, ecosystem services and social sciences Climate change, biodiversity and energy supply as dominating problems
22 Emerging issues Topics: Climate change Sustainability of forests & forest management Wilderness Biodiversity, nature protection Economic viability of forests, Valuation of non commercial forest products Bioenergy Forests and water
23 Emerging issues Topics: Genetics and breeding Forest ecosystem services Urbanisation Invasive species Forest fires etc.
24 Emerging issues IUFRO Survey 2014
25 Setting the agenda Two major aspects: Who and How Who? do not let scientists set the agenda alone! but prevent politicians from doing alone also! involve stakeholders (beyond disciplines and sectors => challenge!)
26 Setting the agenda Who? interaction between politicians and scientists (push AND pull!!) scientists: anticipate future topics politicians: give some freedom (foresight!)
27 Setting the agenda How? structured processes inevitable (vs. freestyle) increasingly scarce resources => strategy processes (e.g. IUFRO, EFI, FTP, CIFOR, national institutions) useful area of conflict for public research institutes: assigned tasks vs. research universities increasingly challenged do not loose innovation!!
28 Setting the agenda German Research Agenda of the Forest-based Sector 7 Strategic Fields of Action 01 Sustainable Production of Natural Resources 02 Developing More Bio-based Products 03 Networked Thinking, Efficient Production and Sustainable Business Practices 04 Supporting the Energy Turnaround 05 Reducing Climate Change and Controlling Its Effects 06 Protecting Nature and the Environment 07 Maintaining and Improving the Quality of Life and Work
29 Setting the agenda FVA - Research Focus from Strategy How? Analysing the frame conditions and main challenges Obligation to cover the broad range of forestry Selection of 3 main research areas Upcoming demands may change the focus within the five years period
30 Setting the agenda FVA - Research Focus from Strategy Main Research Areas Climate Impact Research Nature Conservation and Biodiversity in Forests Measurement and Evaluation of Sustainability
31 Setting the agenda FVA Main Research Area 1 Climate Impact Research Changes in productivity Vulnerability Suitability of main tree species Future range of wildlife species (e.g. capercaillie) Economic evaluation
32 Setting the agenda FVA - Main Research Area 2 Nature Conservation and Biodiversity in Forests Forests with opened-up canopy Animal and plant species with special demands Large-scale inventory of forest structures Biodiversity indicators Indicators for habitat networks
33 Setting the agenda FVA - Main Research Area 3 Measurement and Evaluation of Sustainability Strategic sustainability management Measuring and evaluation of the natural forest cover Nutrition of forest soils Sustainability of biodiversity Recreation and health
34 Current challenges Cooperation No closed shop Incentives needed (research programs, etc.) Transparent reviews No top down process Personnel less permanent more specialised ==> professional and transparent recruitment procedures
35 Current challenges Funding and financing Stable core funding inevitable (50% plus!) Competitive third party funds, i.e. soft money (important also for quality assurance) Recent trends: - general cuts in core funding (forestry no hot issue ) - more competitive funding, restricted to projects - problem: shift from expertise to money?
36 Current challenges Organisation Make excellent scientists visible Identify emerging fields (e.g. genetics ) Maintain proven (traditional?) expertise sharpen scientific profile and give policy service (recent IPCC-Problem)
37 Current challenges Quality Management (QM) Internal and external External: classical instruments reviewed publications (citation indices ) be aware of limitations! ( citation circles ) share of soft money etc. international performance indicators for benchmarking useful (NFRI-Survey)
38 Current challenges Quality Management (QM) Internal: written ethical standards (consequences for your institution: organisation, structures, documentation!) effective science controlling systems (by when, with how many resources, which objective) clear allocation personnel and money
